Europe

Engraved by John Senex, the map is centered on Perugia and Lake Trasimeno. It extends from Tuscany on the west coast to Umbria on the east coast. An allegorical title cartouche depicts a queen, a peacock, a putto with a cornucopia and Romulus and Remus suckling.

Ample margins with faint dampness stains in the top, two small worm holes in the bottom and a repaired tear in the lower right margin.
